| I am glad he has gotten his life together. It was a shame he could not control himself and take advantage of the opprotunities at UT.

| Man, I really thought he could win a Hiesman here and help us to a NC, too. Electrifying is the only word to describe his ON field abilities. Glad he ended up doing well for himself. | |

| Nice to see him doing well. I wish he would have made better decisions. He would have been good here. | |

| "No one has ever told me, 'You're the leader or you're the captain,' " Coker said "It feels good. But at the same time, that is what I'm supposed to be doing. If that's what I did at Tennessee, I would have never dealt with those issues."
I'm glad to see that at least he learned a few things from all that happened. Good for him. | |

| After the fact is after the fact kids today need to wake up before they have a tremendous loss of opportunity. It's a shame that it takes losing your best chance to realize what you are losing.

| Coker looked destined for greatness with the Vols. So did Onterrio Smith. Both met the same fate at UT and leaves us all thinking about what could have been. Hopefully Coker won't screw up a second time like Smith (the Whizzinator). | |

| I am very glad to see this happen for him. This is rarely the case for kids who are thrown off the team. I hope he does make an nfl roster. | |

| Kiffin should have him come speak to the team about responsibilty & the consequences of poor decision making.... I bet it would have a huge impact coming from someone who actually was able to turn it around and really learn from his mistake. Dewayne Goodrich would also a great person to have come speak to the team... When a rich white guy trells you to keep your nose clean it doesn't really make much of an impact... when someone who has a similar life experience as you tells you the same thing it can be very powerful....
